I am using the Beta version of Firefox (27) but I have seen the same behavior in recent released levels. I enter a search at www.google.com , such as rc heating and cooling nj
I then get a page of results. I click on any result (first one is fine, though an Add, any of them work the same way). I see their page. When I hit the Back arrow to get back to the page of results and try another link, it flashes some google redirect URL on the address bar, and then goes right back to the same page I was on. It always brings me back to the same page I was on. If I click on the Back Arrow button with the right mouse button I see three links in the history for that tab, and I can chose the bottom one to go back to the Google search page:
1) Bergen County Heating & Air Conditioning ... (www.dbheatingandcooling.com/?gclid=CNft9ZLC57sCFel9OgodkWUAqQ )
2) http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=CES...&adurl=www.dbheatingandcooling.com
3) rc heating and cooling nj - Google Search ( https://www.google.com/search?q=rc+heating+and+cooling+nj&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-beta&channel=sb )
When on 1) back arrow causes 2) to flash and I go back to 1), always. I can use the right button to drop down the entire list and if I click on 3) then it takes me back to the search results page.
Clicking on 2) also takes me back to #1) , BTW.
The Google redirect (#2) is sometimes http://www.google.com/url?sa=... instead of aclk?sa=... depending on which link I click, but it is the same behavior.
This does not happen in Internet Explorer (IE 8). I see the redirection URL also flashing by in IE, but the back button works and takes me back to the search results page.

It's a few weeks already. Every single day I have multiple crashes. In fact now I have to type in notepad in case firefox crash suddenly.

I thought it was flash and another addon but no. Due to some reason I reinstalled windows and it still crashes. Now my firefox is 30 beta with only adblock plus and flash active. I read somewhere to disable hardware acceleration but it didn't help. I've been using firefox since I don't even remember, 0. something?? This is the first time I'm seriously considering change. Please, please help.

dear sir,

i have watch guard firebox for controlling websites accessing and i have configured deep inspection for HTTPS site. for access these sites i have provide self signed CA certificate to internet users. and also i have imported the certificate in trusted root authority of Firefox on the system of internet users.

but when they open HTTPS sites Firefox not use self signed CA certificate and shows these errors (This Connection is Untrusted ).

Firefox 42 for Windows 7 cannot play some mp4 videos, for example: http://www.miejsca.com/video/camino.mp4
(either opening directly or embedded in a webpage)
Firefox displays the error message: Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.
Tested on different machines.
The video is encoded in H264 and AAC, it works under Chrome and Firefox for Linux.

(The option "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled" is no longer available in about:config),

I also tested if there is something wrong with java itself and there isn't. It is only happening in firefox. How can i fix this?

Hey all,
The Developer version of Opera now includes a free and unlimited built-in VPN. I have clung to Firefox for years because of its features and open-source nature but Opera is now making a very good case to switch as a VPN seems a very important addition to a browser. Are there any knows plans for Firefox to develop a similar feature in the coming releases? So far, no add-on has really convinced me of its reliability in this matter.
Best,
Lou

By the way, this error shows in the header as "Firefox has prevented this site from opening a pop-up window." It does not say that Firefox has prevented this page from redirecting to another page, the workaround that used to "fix" the "pop-up" issue, but put the browser at risk from real unwanted redirects. Why was firefox "seeing" the redirect as a "pop-up" in the first place? In any case, it's a moot point, as now, firefox sees the gmail link as something other than a redirect or pop-up because unchecking either of these settings doesn't fix the problem.

After updating Firefox developer edition to version 51 (Windows 7, 64bit) I noticed some font rendering issues in the Options menu and Dev tools menu.
The font is blured and not clear (looks like font smoothing is disabled). If I go to Safe mode (Restart with disabled addons) - the Options menu font is clear and good looking (readable) again, but in this mode the directwrite is disabled, of course.

In the normal Firefox (version 49, not Developer edition) the Options menu and Dev tools menu fonts are pretty fine - no issues at all.

I tried to refresh the Developer edition but the result is the same.

I checked my home laptop and it was the same - after updating Developer edition to version 51 - the Options menu/Devtools menu fonts sucks there, too.

Hi,

I've reinstalled firefox beta on my Windows 10 machine. When I try to sign in to include this machine the login screen just displays "working". The password is correct as I've gone to another machine, signed out of sync then signed back in again.
Any thoughts as to a solution please?
Thanks

I always used id + firefox without any problems. But in the last time i need to use IE or Chrome for id signing.
It is very uncomfortable and I'm already thinking about the possibility to move to a different browser entirely.

Also, I set up a large number of computers in Estonia. Because of this problem, I simply can not recommend firefox for work with id cards.

For quite a number of months Firefox continuously crashes or becomes unresponsive. Every time this occurs, Firefox will not close, but must be forced to close. At every crash or when forced to close, I get the Windows OS error message that a plug-in has stopped working and must close. That plug-in is always the Adobe Flash plug-in.

I am on the Firefox Beta channel and religiously apply all beta updates. I also religiously keep Adobe Flash updated. However, since I do not fully trust internet notices, I never allow a software vendor to automatically apply an update.

I should also add that this scenario happens many times during every day, except those days I am not using Firefox or do not access a website that invokes the Adobe Flash plug-in.
